If its going straight to hboot with no help from you(ie not pressing button combo) the your volume key is probably stuck. Take off the battery cover and GENTLY try to loosen the volume rocker to get it unstuck
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haerigrek:
Do you have CWM?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necaticetinkaya:
I think your phone volume switch press continuous. So its starts bootloader every time. Real Solution to repair your phone :( (Maybe it's liguid demage maybe main flex)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
I've gone to using my spare xperia x10 mini pro now cause I've found while i'm out an about with my sidekick it will randomly get really hot an I don't mean like kinda hot i mean like feels like someone poured a cup of hot coffee onto thigh! The device hasn't been abused or dropped an its always had a tendency of getting warm at random it seams on all firmware versions. The only thing I can think of is possibly a issue with the phone connecting an unconnected often with the Bluetooth in my kia soul.

Now before you ask why I'm bringing this up now I had a none android samsung memoir befor this phone an it would get warm while GPS was enabled. Though in the sidekicks case it does it no matter what things are enabled or disabled x.x

So anyone else notice thier sidekick getting warm? with mine it seams like its something in the actual phone getting hot that in turn heats the battery up cause its around the DEL key on the keyboard.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] -x]Trunks[x-:
are you running a 1.2 ghz kernel?

are their any wifi connections/bluetooth connections or any data transfer in the background that could cause your phone to clock itself @1ghz or above?

do you have any apps that run in the background (beyond the stock rom) while you are not using your phone?

your cpu could just be getting hot from background app usage while running @ the max cpu clock speed or overclock speed if you're on a overclock kernel.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
The phone has never been overclocked an its done it totaly box stock with no wifi,gps,bluetooth activated an no data being used an has done this aswell with any connections enabled or doing transfers over blue tooth though since day one i do get a FC buzz when it first starts up but doens't say whats FC'd also notice when its getting hot that the battery amount is getting discharged by 10/20%
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
Hopefully it never got overcharged, or undercharged...

Have you ever turned it on after it turned off from 0% batt (or done this multiple times), I know that Lithium Ion batts have issues (I think it is 15% on the battery, but as 0% to the phone) if they go below 15% (0% in the meter) they will loose the ability to work correctly from then on out...

Calibration ever done at "NOT 100%", so it might think that 100% is 90% (or more) and try to keep charging?

Do you not charge it every night? (I have always charged all LiIon batts every night [mostly] and I have yet to run into issues with ANY batt.)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
best to charge the battery with the cover off takes heat away from it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
the odd part is that the battery never is warm while charging stays at normal operating temp for a happy battery. Now what I'm thinking is the battery is actually getting warm from something in the phone itself an transfering the heat towards the battery. An this phone has gotten warm like this even when it was less then a month old on box stock none rooted firmware of all types x.x
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paul65:
Hello,

I'm coming from an evo 4g on sprint and the nexus is a nice change. I've owned a couple android phones in the past but I've never rooted them or anything. Main reason I want to root now is to get a battery meter in the status bar, I saw a couple screenshots that had that.

1. What rom has the battery number in the bar?

2. How exactly do I root and get ready to flash a rom?

3. If I ever want to go back to stock and continue getting updates directly from google, is there a way to do this?

4. I was reading that 4.0.3 roms require a new radio. How do I get a new radio?

5. Are there any downsides to doing this? Can I go back to completely stock if I want to, as if I never did anything to the phone?

6. Since this phone doesn't have an SD card, how exactly do backups and things like that work? When you wipe the phone (before flashing new roms), wouldn't it wipe your backups since there is no sd card?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Most roms have the battery number in the status bar, but if you flash a rom that doesn't have it, there are flashable zips in the themes and apps section that will give you a battery meter :)

I'm not sure if you are GSM or on Verizon, so I won't link any tutorials but if you go to the development sections and look at the threads posted at the top of the sections, you will be able to find guides that will tell you how to root and flash roms.

Yes, there is a way to revert all the way to stock.

4.0.3 roms for the GSM version do not require a new radio, but they are recommended. In the development sections there are threads that have the radios included as flashable zip files and you can just flash them in recovery.

You can always revert to stock :)

There is a virtual SD card on the phone, and when you wipe/factory reset the phone from recovery, it does not touch the virtual SD card. However, when you unlock your bootloader for the first time it WILL wipe the virtual SD card.

Goodluck :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paul65:
Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
I'll try to answer these questions as best I can. Please note that I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device and I am answering these questions to the best of my ability and they may not be accurate.

1.) I'm fairly certain several ROMs have the battery percentage built right in, and if not are available through a "MOD". The one ROM that I can confirm has the battery percentage mod is AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) by Romanbb. To enable this option, go to: Settings>Rom Control>Battery

2.) Look here

3.) As far as my knowledge extends to, yes you can. Just flash the factory images.

4.) They don't. But if you are experiencing poor network connectivity you can try flashing a different baseband here

5.) There are no downsides that I am aware of yet, except for the ability to receive OTA (Over-the-air) updates.

6.) Be sure to get this confirmed by another, reputable member but as far as I am aware of, each ROM uses EXT4 so it doesn't affect the contents within the device.

NOTE: When you unlock your bootloader, your device will be wiped.

Help! Installation ClockWorkMod writes fail-pu ... PG58IMG.zip any file does not install. Knowledgeable people tell me what's the problem?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
flash through HBOOT, not recovery
[HTC Sensation] FausFear:
how to do it? I am not strong in this (((if you can for more info ...
[HTC Sensation] Oomike:
1st got to settings>power and uncheck fastboot. then power phone completely off.

Next hold vol-down and power until white htc appears.

It will go to bootloader and automatically see the PD58IMG.zip
[HTC Sensation] FausFear:
I ROM is not installed, when you switch displays in FASTBOOT! PD58IMG.zip can not install says in red letters Fail-PU ...

in my opinion I have with HBOOT 1.20.0000 problems. because I started to install automatic ROM ICS 4.0 with the file PD58IMG.zip, there is not the end everything was installed, some written as FAIL-PU.
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
I've read that if you try to flash the firmware update for hboot 1.20 if you don't have supercid some files may fail to update
[HTC Sensation] FausFear:
tell me how to update? I'm from Russia, it is very difficult to translate and communicate. I ask how you can in a simplified form.
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
Give us some background info. Was your phone rooted in the first place? Did you follow the path s-off then clockwokmod recovery then root then supercid? What did you do before this happened? Did you try to install the latest RUU 3.06 where hboot 1.20 comes? We are happy to help but it's not easy trying to solve something without some info :)
[HTC Sensation] FausFear:
phone s-off, root, super cid, it all started after trying to flash (Sensation ICS 3.06.401.1 - Rooted PG58IMG.ZIP) all the checkboxes have been installed in the firmware partition except system and even some I do not remember. After re-flashing, all the ticks became Fail-PU.
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
so, first, did you check the md5 checksum to see if your download wasn't corrupted? Some times I use winmd5sum portable because I don't need to install it in my computer. http://download.cnet.com/WinMd5Sum-Portable/3000-2381_4-75099291.html

You noticed that you are flashing a rom for the sensation not the sensation xe (this one is the 401.101) some differences are discussed here but is an advanced topic.

if everything is ok this is how you install a pg58img.zip using the bootloader

place pg58img.zip in sd card

turn off phone if you are not sure the phone is really off take battery out and put it back

press and keep holding VOL DOWN

press and keep holding POWER until you enter the bootloader

pg58img is automatically detected and you are asked if you want to update

after installation of all packages is finished reboot your phone

I was checking the pg58img and seems to be the RUU: the firmware update plus the rooted stock rom and the custom recovery.

although s-off and supercid are persistent and not modified with this firmware update your hboot 1.2000 is now locked and you may not be able to use fastboot commands or install some packages like radios (maybe that's happening to you when it says fail-pu)

to regain unlocked hboot you can use the tools at htcdev to unlock hboot 1.20 or you can download the hboot 1.17 onlocked from here

before you do that don't forget to delete the pg58 img that you hace in your sd card and then place this one in its place.

cheers:)
[HTC Sensation] FausFear:
this is all I've done (Fail-PU) (((((
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
it failed when trying to flash the recovery which is custom and no stock. try flashing the firmware update only without recovery or rom. you can find it here, that's what i did first flashed the firmware only and after that a rom (android revolution 5.0.2 currently)
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
anyway, I was talking to some other guys and if noting works you can download a shipped RUU (there's a collection here). Run the exe file and you'll finish with a stock gingerbread system. You'll have to root and install custom recovery and the usual again. If after that you still feel like trying ICS install the firmware update only, not the one you tried.

cheers
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yet another example of someone jumping blind into something they don't understand. If you don't know how to reverse the rooting process you should not even consider rooting in the first place.

There should be some sort of test before rooting information is given out - would stop n00bs getting themselves up **** creek
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Are you super cid, if not do so now a d flash custom firmware. Super cid us a low level fastbiit command and can be done on hboot 1.20
[HTC Sensation] FausFear:
how to make low level fastbiit command?:eek:
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Oh dear.......

He is saying SuperCID IS a low level fastboot command, you cannot make one

I'm having a similar problem, but since I get the Fail-PU notice, the rest does not continue
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
That means firmware is messed up ..can you go to recovery ?

Try a proper/correct ruu ..hopefully it will solve the issue ..otherwise if you can boot to recover.. Flash 4EXT recovery and try to check what partitions are un touched

Hi, I'm developing an application on my GSM Galaxy Nexus (stock 4.0.1 Android, rooted) and I need to use HierarchyViewer. I know you can use ViewServer, but it's a pain in the ass to do it in all activities, and then having to remove it when you're done.

I tried (Win7 x64):

C:\{...}\adb -d shell

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluescreen2:
hi,

i am very unhappy about the build in microfon of my transformer 101.

i am so disappointed, that i wonder if i should sell my 101 and buy a 201.

how is the mic quality of the prime? is it better? are there any comparison

videos from users owning both devices yet?

and if it as crapy as the one from the 101, is there any hardwaremod

thats replaces the build in one with a better one yet?

thank you. still hoping that ics makes a difrent about the mic settings,

but with no big hope :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GCurry:
I can only offer anecdotal evidence, FWIW.

I had 2 Acer A500 tablets, both of which had very poor mics. It was a design problem, I think. I like voice input, so resolved to look at TF Prime to see whether the TF-201 had done a better job.

When I got my Prime Dec 28 that was the first thing I tried, and am happy to say, that at least on my instance, it had decent mic and voice input recognition. That should be the case, as voice input is emphasized on upcoming ICS.

I can't compare voice on TF-201 to that on 101, but it was better than on A500, and adequate for me.

Unfortunately there were other issues for me with Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
i know that when skyping or gchatting on my tf201 prime i have not had 1 problem as of yet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluescreen2:
may one of you try a selfrecording with the record app

and analyse if its good or poor quality?

the google voice recognition is pointless because its

85% working on my 101 too, but recording myself

or even skyping is so bad in quality that its no fun.

thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluescreen2:
Thank you very much. Damn, i think i must sell my 101 and buy a 201 :/

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RockitOut11:
There's a lot of users that already use the Stock 2.1 ROM because it's bug-free.

BUT, even with the DualTouch/Pinch-Zoom Kernel Modules, this rom doesn't accept dual-touch and/or pinch zoom on all apps. Per exemple, if you install the kernel module for Cypress Dual Touch, you can't do pinch-zoom on the Browser, and you can't have dual-touch in games.

So, today i'm bringing you a fix made by iridaki for the X10, adapted for our device, so you can have dual-touch on every app on Stock Rom (except the stock 2.1 gallery from SE, because that gallery was made without pinch-zoom functionality).

>> Original Post here

Let's start!

Step 1

Install the Kernel Module for your digitizer and test it in Multitouch visualizer (one app where dual-touch works without this fix).

Step 2

Using your favorite root file manager (per exemple: root explorer), navigate to /system, press the Mount R/W button, find build.prop, long press on it and select "Open in Text Editor".

After the last entry, add the following lines:

ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true
ro.product.max_num_touch=2

Step 3

Download this file (rapidshare mirror) and, using your root file manager, copy it to /etc/permissions. Then, long press on it, select Permissions and make sure that these options are checked:

[x][x][ ]

[x][ ][ ]

[x][ ][ ]

Step 4

Restart the phone, click the thanks button on this thread and on the original thread and then enjoy dual touch on every app!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] n1kolaa:
i will add it in my next rom :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RockitOut11:
this is for STOCK 2.1, i think you develop for 2.2, 2.3 and 4.0 roms, where you don't need to do this, because it's already part of it
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Michal1994:
Is this still fake dual touch? For example in N.O.V.A can i walk and shooting in same time?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] n1kolaa:
i have 1 stock :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RockitOut11:
if you're synaptics, as i think you are, this is just to make the Fake Dual Touch work on every app and game, because without this fix it will only work on some rare apps, like opera mini and multitouch visualizer.

with this you have the same dualtouch/pinch-zoom capabilities has in froyo and gingerbread costum roms.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RockitOut11:
What kernel are you talking about? You don't need to flash any kernel for this fix, you need the stock kernel, this fix is for stock Rom on stock kernel. If you're on a costum kernel just go to the unlock bootloader guide thread and download the stock kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] elderduke:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] BohArie:
I will and will report later...

nothing happen...

can u show how to put it on build.prop.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] BohArie:
on cypress screen it need ax8mt.ko file or not?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RockitOut11:
you need the ax8mt.ko on Cypress, and the x8gesture.ko on Synaptics

this is only the fix for the apps that aren't allowing dualtouch on this rom... read carefully the first post before asking please
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muody:
ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true

ro.product.max_num_touch=2

on the end of build.prop add this and save the changes.

yes, like in first step "Install the Kernel Module for your digitizer and test it in Multitouch visualizer (one app where dual-touch works without this fix)."
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] BohArie:
i mean(need space or what between original thing that inside of build.prop or no space)..

what thing i do is:

1.root w8 using x8tools.

2.i download ax8mt.ko & file that suggest on the first page.

3.i do everything on that page.

4.i move ax8mt.ko in system/lib/modules/

5.i add word on build.prop(just like in the first page).

6.i change permissions of ax8mt.ko just like file on the rom..

7.i reboot.

8.itry and boommm..... nothing happen...

or can u show how to do it for walkman w8(stock rom)...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muody:
First and download Multitouch Visualizer and test it. if yes, point 2.

2.Open in text edior "build.prop" at the end of this file add:

add space between this what is inside this file and this below

3. Download it and copy it to etc/permissions and set permissions to:

[x][x][ ]

[x][ ][ ]

[x][ ][ ]

4.Reboot :)

Now all clear?

[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
what's the wifi module?

and also, i have no intention of OCing or UCing..will this kernel make a difference for me?
[HTC Jetstream] DooMLoRD:
custom kernels need the corresponding wifi module for wifi to work correctly... else u will get error...

if u are not planning to OC then dont worry... the kernel will always boot at 384mhz/1536Mhz (similar to stock speeds)... so if u dont overclock using apps then kernel will never be run at those high clocks :)

though u might be interested in undervolting... CPU Voltage control interface is provided!!!
[HTC Jetstream] typhoonikan:
Interesting.

I have flashed many roms and mods but never delved into kernels much.

I don't plan on OC or UC either. Saying that, is SetCPU and VDD Control app still required to use the kernel for proper control?

I'm sorry if I ask basic questions. Like I said, not dealt with Kernels much before.
